Collaboratory: Choreographic Makers Lab

This short workshop brings together dancers, performers, choreographers and interdisciplinary makers to explore collaborative choreographic practice through training, improvisation, and collective research.

The lab is a facilitated space for artists to experiment through process and play with different approaches to generation and collaboration.

Participants are welcome to attend either individual sessions or both days.

While each workshop has a distinct focus and can be attended independently, the two days are designed to complement one another as part of a wider exploration of collaborative choreographic practice.
